Compliance Use Cases

​
GDPR Right to Erasure

When a user requests deletion under GDPR Article 17: 
// Handle GDPR deletion request
async function handleDeletionRequest(customerUserId) {
  // Look up the Bota end user ID from your mapping
  const botaEndUserId = await getMapping(customerUserId);

  // Delete from Bota
  await fetch(`https://api.bota.dev/v1/end-users/${botaEndUserId}`, {
    method: 'DELETE',
    headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer sk_live_...' },
  });

  // Delete from your own system
  await deleteFromYourDatabase(customerUserId);

  // Remove the mapping
  await removeMapping(customerUserId);
}
